There has to be a point of diminishing returns for them with this kind of behavior. This is just so aggravating.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'd wager they are hoping to entrap as many people as they can on the platform, with their TPM restrictions, and store restrictions, and account restrictions, that sunk cost fallacy will keep the overwhelming bulk of people stuck in their web.

I'd also wager that enterprise probably doesnt have any of this bullshit

Can confirm, I run enterprise at home and have yet to see some of these shenanigans I've seen posted.

But there's still enough I hate about Windows 11 that I'm slowly transitioning to Linux and then just running windows in a VM for things there aren't good alternatives for.

So same strategy as Apple?
